Complete Spring Lift Assist for Wide Frame 128
I am trying to get an old 128 and model 1 tiller going for my 80 y.o. dad so he can still do some gardening. He has had to quit using his regular cub as he was having trouble getting on it (both hips and one knee have been replaced
And he needs the other knee done). His troy built horse tiller threw a rod and i will be looking at fixing that soon but since i got the 128 running fairly easily, i figured i would give him That. I just hope he can swing his leg over it to get on! Anyway! I have gotten the tiller going, broke the old original IH belt from gearbox up to tiller, need to go to TSC for a new one, but the tiller is pretty heavy for me to lift and i dont think he can do it as is. I remembered seeing a spring assist for these before and wanted to see if anyone had one. I need all the parts, (rod, spring brackets bolts, Etc.) so the more complete the better. It would need to be shipped unless close to Austin, Ft. Worth or. Victoria, Tx areas. Here is a link to parts tree for the spring assist: http://www.partstree.com/parts/cub-c...helper-spring/ |

I have a tiller on a manual lift tractor. Even with it cranked down tight, the tiller is still pretty heavy. You need a hydraulic lift tractor.

If no luck here then the sponsors have options.
http://www.ccspecialties.org/spring_assist.html https://www.ihccw.com/assist.html Try e-bay also. Might be cheaper to find a parts tractor with the spring assist on it.

So...does anyone have a hydraulic lift? I have looked for those as well as
A Spring assist On ebay already. I will contact the vendors above. The solution to "get a hydraulic lift tractor" sounds great, but these tractors arent too common in Texas. I have come across two in the last year and the sellers wanted $1500 for an unrestored 129 with a tiller and $3500 for a restored 149 with just a mower deck. |

I ordered a spring assist set up from IHCCW for $135 shipped and will give it a shot.
How about electric lifts? Did they work very well? I see that the same company has one for my 128, but its $600. Unfortunately out of my budget right now. I recall seeing a yellow hydraulic pump brackets and lines at my dads. He said he didnt know what it fit. I think it was in my uncle's junk when we got the 128, a 582S and a 73. (He knew good tractors. He also had to Farmall Cubs that I also inherited.) My other uncle had a farmall cub with fast hitch and a bunch if implements. Unfortunately my aunt sold it without asking my dad if he was interested. I have seven farmall cubs and two cub lo boys (not number series) and none of them have the fast hitch! I do have a Super C with it, though! Ous |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
